What was the date of the battle of Dunkirk?
Battle of DunkirkFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Battle of Dunkirk was a battle in the Second World War between the Allies and Germany. A part of the Battle of France on the Western Front, the Battle of Dunkirk was the defence and evacuation of British and allied forces in Europe from 24 May to 4 June 1940.After the Phoney War, the Battle of France began in earnest on 10 May 1940. To the east, the German Army Group B invaded and subdued the Netherlands and advanced westwards through Belgium. In response, the Supreme Allied Commander French General Maurice Gamelin initiated "Plan D" which relied heavily on the Maginot Line fortifications. Gamelin committed the forces under his command, three mechanised armies, the French First and Seventh and the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) to the River Dyle. On 14 May, German Army Group A burst through the Ardennes and advanced rapidly to the west toward Sedan, then turned northwards to the English Channel, in what Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein called the "sickle cut" (known as "Plan Yellow" or the Manstein Plan), effectively flanking the Allied forces.

How did the US contribute to winning World War 2?
The loan of weapons 'Lend Lease' and the extra man power all helped but it was just 2 years too late really. Many Americans will say that the loan of weapons stopped an invasion of Britain but thats just not true and a very ignorant statement to make. Lend Lease did not take place untill March 1941, Britain had already fought off an invasion in the Battle of Britain which ended on October 1940 almost 6 months before Lend Lease even started. The Battle of Britain was to pave way for a planned invasion of Britain (Operation Sealion) to stand any chance of pulling Operation Sealion off Hitler needed air and sea superiority but he lost the Battle of Britain to Britain. Hitler had 4000 planes,many were destroyed invading Poland and France then Britain destroyed over 1,700 in the Battle of Britain. After the Battle of Britain Britain was safe from any invasion. Hitlers Military advisors warned Hitler that an invasion of Britain was not possible and a suicide mission so Operation Sealion was canceled and they moved on to Russia with planes they borrowed from Italy. Then 6 months later Lend Lease started and a 1/4 of Britains weapons were on loan,but in return Britain gave US troops training for D-day.D-day was roughly 83,000 American troops 67,000 British 23,000 Canadian then Polish,French,Australian,New Zealand and many other countries were there too. Over half the ships and planes on D-day were French and British. D-day was planned and led by 5 British Generals and 1 American General.America took care of the Japanese with allied help but Japan wasnt really much of a problem for Europe. America indeed to play a significant role in WW2 but other countries played much bigger roles. For instance Britain was bombing Germany just as bad as Germany bombed Britain a full year and a half before America even entered the War, 75% of Berlin was bombed which played a huge role in making it possible for Russia to invade Berlin. It was Polish intelligence Britain used to crack the Enigma Code, the Enigma code shaved 2yrs off the war saved millions of lives and made the war much easier from then on as it gave away all of Hitlers plans and posts etc. Most of Hitlers 4000 planes were destroyed by European forces before American even entered, same thing goes for Hitlers Navy and Troops. Hitler had 5 to 6 million troops,many of these were killed invading Europe (Poland,France,Russia, Battle of Britain etc)End of the Day WW2 was a 'WORLD' effort and many countries did their bit and played significant rolesAnswerIn dollars and in a greater way, 292,131 Americans died in WWII.

This question is interesting. The role of De Gaulle is not known while he was still Colonel at the beginning of the Battle of France.De gaulle was untrusted the leading of the 4th DCR (division cuirassée de réserve) created the 11th of may 1940. This division was composed mostly of 400 armoured tanks.It was based in Laon.When the German Army broke through the Ardennes (Sedan), this division was not ready and prepared for fighting.It entered the war the 17th of may and engaged a successful counterattack near Laon and Moncorvet attempting a flanking attack of the German army in Abbeville to free the allies surrounded in Dunkerque.This division, in spite of the lack of reinforcement, was able to fight efficiently during more than 40 days constantly.The action of Colonel De Gaulle, during the Battle of France, as a leader able to make up an organise an army while fighting, brought him the title of General.
